THE INTERESTS OF LABOR.

What has the Democratic party ever done
for labor7 Coming down to particulars and
honest facts, honor bright now, when, and
where, and in what way did the Democratic
party ever do anything on behalf of labor or
the laboring mani
For nearly one hundred years that party
held as a fundamental principle Of its faith
that laborers should be owned by the en-
ployer. The poor blacks of the South were
held as slaves, and the labor of several mill
ions of people was taken without compensa-
ton and forced under the whip The Demo
cratic party always and everywhere advocated
the lawfulness and righteousness of human
slavery. just before the beginning of the war
the Hon. D. W. Voorhees, said: ''The insti-
tuition of domestic slavery to-day Glands be-
fore the world more fully justified than ever
before in the history of this, or, indeed per-
haps, of any other country" That party at
tempted to destroy the government because it
could not increase the number of slave States,
and attempted to found a government of its
own, with slavery as its corner stone. Slave
labor cheapened and ruined free labor The
laboring men of the North were spoken of by
that party CONTEMPORARY as 'smudsills.'
The Democratic party to-day advocates
cheap labor, and demands that the laborers of
this country shall compete on our own soil,
with the cheap labor Of Europe. What does

Of Finance Hon. W. Fl. Mclean, is one Of
the greatest failures on record. Under his
administration the taxation Of Canada has
increased 60 per cent. without any proper
tional increase of population. He has in
creased the annual expenditure by nearly 65
per cent, and has increased the federal debt
of Canada by 500. OOO 900 within eight years.
For these and other reasons he has been
forced to resign, and his successor, now en-
route from England, is expected to reach
Ottawa on Saturday. The elections for
new Parliament are ordered for the 22d Of
February.

STATISTICS of last years labor strikes show
that at one time or another during the year
400, 900 laborers took part in them. Thera

The Citizens Committee of One Hundred
in this city is modelled after the Citizens
League of Chicago, the object of both being
to enlist the efforts of good citizens, ire
spective of partisan politics, to secure honest
elections and the enforcemento Of law. Our
committee has already done some good work
and will doubtless do more. The one in
Chicago has the advantage of greater age and
experience and more compact, effective or
ganization. 1t has just published its ninth
annual report, and some of the points possess
local interest The report says the last year
has been the busiest and most productive of
good results Of any year since the league was
formed, the prosecutions and convictions Of
law breakers exceeding in number those of
any former year and the support from the
public being more liberal. The total number
of saloon keepers prosecuted by the commit
tee during the year was l, 1877, and the mum
Der of charges filed 2,042. The league is in
good shape financially, the treasurers report
showing that the receipts from contributions

amount on hand Jan. l, 1886, gave the treas
$40, o23. The disbursements were $7,17O
